How is this approach a lie. There are things taken care of all the time that the public doesn't know about.

I don't think taking care of wild cats will ever be a big issue. Most of the fence sitters have dumped off their cats in the country. I get them all the time. They are also the prey of owls and hawks and I wouldn't put it past coons to raid their litters. People start making it known that hunters are shooting cats and when little flufy turns up missing hunters will be blamed even though cats have been turning up missing for ever. When John Q starts having a problem with wild pets he'll scream. When Mrs. John Q runs them over with her car or they scare her in the night she'll scream and then John will really scream to get her to shut up.

There are some things better off not talked about. Doesn't make them a lie.
